Blowing Dust Out
Is it ok to blow dust out from your CPU by using a hair dryer or blower?

Yes and you can also use vacuum cleaner in reverse mode.

Re: Blowing Dust Out
Don't use hair dryer instead use a can of compressed air. It comes with a thin and long nozzle attachment (good for tight spot)  .

Re: Blowing Dust Out
I think get a simple blower from Hardware store. It will cost you 800 Rs but it will last you for years and effectively this is the best thing.

Re: Blowing Dust Out
@ax3,
That thing doesn't blow of dust completely and is very painful. I boought it for 20 bucks from Lamington Road.
So anything that runs on power will be better. 
How much does a can of compressed air cost?
